St. Basil/Visitation Catholic Parish, Chicago

Project Description

This historic church renovation project included the restoration of the church’s exterior and extensive interior remodeling to respond to current liturgical demands and provide handicapped accessibility. The renovation of the Nave included plaster repair and painting, new lighting, pews, and windows, and a new Baptistry and altar, which were constructed out of the marble of the former altar rail. A new Sacristy, Reconciliation Room, bathrooms, and elevator were incorporated into the new Narthex/Gathering Space which borrowed one bay from the former church Nave. Lower level offices, fellowship hall, meeting rooms, and a food pantry were also created.
